I was reading in Deuteronomy 1:6b, 7a “You have dwelt long enough at this mountain. Turn and take your journey, and go…”
Now I don’t know about you, but the Holy Ghost got all over me with that one! It’s time to get up from where we’ve been and go to where we’re going!
Next I was reading in Acts chapter one. Luke (the writer of Acts BY the Holy Ghost) said of Jesus: “after He THROUGH the Holy Spirit had given commandments to the apostles…” (Acts 1:2). In other words, if you were to read the last portions of each Gospel account where Jesus appeared to the apostles and instructed them your Bible says He did it BY / THROUGH the Holy Ghost.
Yes the very Holy Ghost Who brooded over the deep and brought about God’s desired result when He spoke…the same Spirit of God Who moved upon the holy men of old who prophesied the things to come concerning Jesus (not to mention the things that are still yet to happen)…the same Spirit of God that raised Jesus up from the dead that great resurrection morning! He’s the same Spirit of the Living God Who recreated your spirit when you called upon the name of the Lord to be saved and He’s the same Spirit of the Holy God Who is also called the Spirit of Grace Who will enable you and I to continue in what Jesus “began both to do and to teach!!!” (Acts 1:1).
He who has an ear to hear what the Spirit of the Living God is saying, LET HIM HEAR! He doesn’t need our qualifications, just our cooperation (availability). Jesus is still working in the earth today THROUGH the Holy Spirit! But if we’re still camped out at the last ‘mountain’ we met with God, then He’s calling us to get up, come out, and go forward in Him and His plan. Eternity is closer than when we first believed…is your lamp filled with oil and trimmed? WATCH! I heard that very clearly just now!
My greatest desire is first and foremost to walk with Jesus so closely that the Apostle John would be jealous! But secondly I’d love to affect and infect you (and everybody I come in contact with) with the same intense desire! It almost pains me (in my spirit that is)
Won’t you take just a moment, bow your heart before God and ask Him to search through you…He wants to work in you both to will and to do His good pleasure!
A dear friend of mine said these words to me a while back: “LOVE VIOLENTLY!” Put that one on your mirror! Violent love HAS TO ACT! It cannot plunge its head in the sands of ‘business’ (that’s busy-ness) and pretend it isn’t aware of the suicide the world around them is committing! To live today without Jesus involved in one’s life is to commit suicide! Let’s fill His crown with jewels (souls)!!!
I love you all very much! Let’s show Him our faith by our actions!
